Chapter 840: Checkpoints
The checkpoints in South Sudan are non-existent, and even many of the officers and soldiers of the Crescent Brigade are from the government army, and the relationship between them is complicated, which has led to the smuggling of arms smuggled into a project. 1?KANSHU·COM
If there is enough time, Li Mu will investigate the Crescent Brigade before taking action. For example, who is the financier behind the Crescent Brigade, and what is the purpose of the financier's support for the Crescent Brigade. According to the information provided by Tang Ming, the number of people in the Crescent Brigade was around a thousand. There is not a small amount of money for the daily and operational needs of maintaining such a unit, although the equipment used by the Crescent Brigade is mostly Soviet-style weapons of the seventies and eighties of the last century.
Just as Tang Ming was able to develop informants in the government army, the Crescent Brigade also had strong connections in the government army. This is also one of the main factors in the failure of the government army's encirclement and suppression.
Well-equipped officers and well-trained peacekeepers are subject to various constraints and are mostly limited to serving as security police. If the Crescent Brigade is moved, then the peacekeeping force will turn into a joint **. The only way to do justice to the Crescent Brigade is to wait for the Crescent Brigade to be defined as a terrorist organization, not as a rebel force now.
Tang Ming was very well prepared, and took out several sets of combat clothes that French mercenaries liked to use, usually light outdoor tactical pants and undershirts, and then put on a bulletproof vest and tactical vest on the upper body, fastened a fast gun holster on his thighs, and a throat headset on his neck, this is combat clothing.
Li Mu and the others sorted out the weapons and ammunition, filled all the spare magazines with bullets, checked every grenade, and checked the bolt mechanism.
took out an M40A3 sniper rifle, Li Mu skillfully removed the bolt, carefully wiped the side with oil, and then adjusted the scope. 1 K?A?N?S BOOK H?U·COM At this moment, Li Mu seems to have regained the feeling of being an accurate shooter, but the weapon in his hand is different. In those years, ordinary Type 95 automatic rifles were used in the company, and there were no specialized precision shooting rifles. And now he is holding a 7.62mm sniper rifle with the standard configuration of the US military, which has excellent performance.
Hu Yong did not participate in the rescue operation, to be precise, except for Tang Ming, who was responsible for answering and carrying out the rescue operation, there were only four Li Mu, Hu Fengqi could only be regarded as half of the combat effectiveness, but he had to accompany the operation and be responsible for the communication support in the operation.
Therefore, it is inevitable that one person will play multiple roles.
Li Mu alone, he had to carry two weapons, in addition to the M40A3 sniper rifle, he also had to carry the M4A2 carbine, of course, the Glock pistol was indispensable, as well as up to six offensive grenades, and related ammunition.
The rescue mission did not require a storm, so it was all light weapons. Of course, Bian Guanlin's main weapon is the M249 general-purpose machine gun, a lightweight model without a tripod with 1,500 rounds of ammunition, and only he has the affordability.
For any commando, a strong fire support hand with a strong load capacity is indispensable. Perhaps at the most critical time, such a fire support hand can provide the most critical ammunition supply and fire support. Without a powerful load capacity, there is simply no way to maintain the constant combat capability of such firearms as light machine guns.
Tang Ming found a pickup truck that he didn't believe in half-disbelief, it was actually from the Great Wall, looking at the style, it had been used for at least seven or eight years, and the idle sound of the diesel engine was about to catch up with the tank.
One person and five people got into the pickup truck, Bian Guanlin wrapped his face in a bandana, only his two eyes were exposed, and sat on the guardrail, one hand protecting the 12.7mm heavy machine gun that was crudely welded and fixed on the back bucket, and he looked like a rebel.
The armed pickup truck roared through the streets of the city, honking its horn and heading straight to the checkpoint outside the city. There is no so-called safe place in Juba City, except in areas within the reach of the peacekeeping forces. Peacekeepers need the support of armored vehicles for all their daily patrols, and the use of other vehicles is very dangerous.
Hu Yong and Tang Ming's two men drove a Pajero with a telescopic antenna and went to the predetermined location two kilometers from the No. 1 Prison, where they could control the radio signal of the No. 1 Prison.
At 12 o'clock in the afternoon, two Soviet-style heavy trucks roared towards the checkpoint, arriving at the checkpoint in about 15 minutes.
Mopti, the officer on duty at the checkpoint, raised his wrist to look at the time, and couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth. Every Friday, the supply convoy of the Crescent Brigade passes through here, and he mainly asks to be on duty on Friday, in order to give the supply convoy of the Crescent Brigade clearing. Through one time he can get a thousand dollars. The money greatly improved Mopti's life, and he didn't care about the charges of collaborating with the rebels.
It is said that the deputy commanders of the government army regularly ask for bribes from the Crescent Brigade.
In ten minutes, a thousand dollars in hand, and in the evening you can go to the Russian bar for a good drink or two, where the new Ukrainian woman is very enthusiastic.
In the distance, he saw two cars coming this way from the direction of the city. Mopti lifted his binoculars and looked over, led by a Prado, followed by a pickup truck painted by government troops. After a closer look, Mopti's face suddenly sank, isn't that Coffey's car, why is this guy here.
Coffey is a staff officer of the Army Command and is in charge of their units.
Looking at the time, the convoy should arrive in about ten minutes, so that Coffey, who doesn't know his six relatives, will find out that it is terrible. Mopti could only pray in his heart that this was a temporary check, and that Coffey would leave here as soon as possible.
Prado galloped in a very arrogant manner, braking abruptly on the edge of the checkpoint, bringing up puffs of churning and rolling dust. Coffey got out of the car in a military uniform and sunglasses, and the soldiers saluted him. Coffey went back with a military salute.
The pickup truck behind him also stopped, and the people on it got out of the car one after another. Moputi was a little stunned when he saw it, these people were all wrapped around their necks, which covered most of their faces, revealing only two eyes. For the sake of wind and sand, there were many soldiers who did this, and Moputi didn't take it to heart.
At this time, he only expected Kofi to leave as soon as possible, so he didn't pay too much attention to the difference between the soldiers that Kofi brought over. Because Mupti knew that Coffey had a group of mercenaries under him, who were personal bodyguards hired by the commander, and they were under Coffey's control.
"Chief Coffey, why are you here?" said Mupti hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Coffey was a highly educated man of British descent and one of the few military officers in the army to have a professional background.
He returned the favor with another American military salute and said, "Lieutenant Mopty, I'll take your place, and you can go back." ”
Mopty was stunned for a moment......
